With a smartphone, not only ophthalmologists but also non-ophthalmologists can acquire slit lamp images anywhere eye medical care is difficult to reach, for example, distant, sparsely populated areas, home health care, EMS, disaster areas, developing countries, etc..

Non-ophthalmologists on site can send the slit lamp images taken by MS1 to an ophthalmologist for thorough diagnosis.

Examples of diseases and signs for which MS1 was useful for diagnosis:

• Cataract
• Acute glaucoma attack
• Pterygium
• Dry Eye
• Corneal damage caused by foreign objects, and infection associated with it
